Polo's top lines of shoes had been produced for many years by Edward Green. In more recent years, with Edward Green unable to fulfill the Polo's orders in quantity, Crockett & Jones, with its much larger capacity has come to replace Green with an excellent line of shoes but, frankly, not quite the equal of this masterpiece. This delightful and dramatic Cap-Toe Monk is extremely well made, certainly among the very best made British shoes, in a sleek and classic style and in a long design tradition. Notice the channeled and skived sole, a trait common to the very best in shoemaking. This pair has a discreet medallion punched in the cap, a charming decoration that enlivens the sleek design. Condition: Superb. Showing the very slightest wear.
